Violent rioting in the United States has inspired 'Black Lives Matter' demonstrations across Europe.
From Dublin to Copenhagen to Berlin, thousands have joined marches and protests against perceived mistreatment of minorities and police brutality in the U.S. and Europe.
Protesters have gathered outside U.S. embassies in many cities, carrying signs reading, "I Can't Breathe," and others bearing the name of George Floyd, whose death while in police custody has been treated as the catalyst for days of looting, arson and mob attacks in the U.S.

2000 people on the streets of #copenhagen to protest. The demonstration walked from the US Embassy @usembdenmark to Danish Parliament @folketinget. Peaceful but powerful. My friend @rzajano filmed this clip. #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER #blacklivesmatter #Solidarity pic.twitter.com/nsMaWTuO4i

Similarly-themed protests have also taken place in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and other countries far from the U.S.
